Its Memorial Day Weekend already! My how time flies. There’s been a lot happening lately, and between illnesses and deaths in the family, I haven’t been out exploring and backpacking as much as I would have liked. I’m finally going to get out on my three-day weekend. I will be hiking the Three Ridges Wilderness loop with two nights out on the trail.
Next week, Erin and I leave for Las Vegas for a friend’s wedding. I’m more excited about our week at Zion National Park after all the festivities. I’ve got film ordered, but I fear it may not be enough. But have no fear, new photography will come as I pick up my camera once more.

Hey Matt,
I don’t think I ever realized all the photo galleries you have posted here. They’re stunning! I love the pictures from Ireland; it’s so nice to see the vibrant green hills when it’s so dreary outside.
We’re just moving to Beltsville, so we aren’t going too far. We’re getting a house and I’m super psyched to have a yard for gardening. And I don’t think we’ll be able to resist getting a dog.
I hope all is well!
